INDIANAPOLIS -- Kirk Cousins turned in Sunday's best performance among the first group of quarterbacks to work out at Lucas Oil Stadium.

The senior from Michigan State threw an accurate football in every drill and made it look easy. Cousins' performance since the season ended has helped him move up draft boards by showing NFL teams he can get rid of the ball quickly and next-level throws with the zip and accuracy. There were concerns about inconsistent play and untimely interceptions.

Cousins showed pro-ready passing mechanics and fundamental footwork throughout all of the drills. He benefited greatly from being in a more pro-style offense at Michigan State as he appeared smooth and natural with his three-, five- and seven-step drops.

In addition to being technically sound, Cousins displayed a strong arm. The ball did not just come out of his hand, but rather shot out and got to the receiver in a flash.

After a strong showing at the Senior Bowl, Cousins could not have helped himself any more than he did Sunday. He may have put himself in position to be considered by a team looking for a young, developmental quarterback at the end of the first round or top of the second.
